Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 94 reviews

Care is delivered in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care Stays Inside This Building

When a language gap forces a second appointment to finish a conversation, the window for timely treatment narrows, and bacterial infections don't wait. At Health Center of Southeast counseling, diagnosis, and treatment for STIs are conducted directly in Spanish, keeping the entire care episode intact.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment in One Place

Many clinics run the hepatitis C antibody test and then hand the result off to a specialist elsewhere, leaving patients to navigate a separate system before treatment begins. Health Center of Southeast Texas manages hepatitis C treatment on-site, so the path from diagnosis to care doesn't cross a second provider.

Hepatitis Testing Closes the Gap the Basic Panel Leaves

Hepatitis C can go undetected for years when the testing panel stops at the four standard bacterial infections, and the cost of that gap compounds silently. Health Center of Southeast Texas includes hepatitis C testing alongside the bacterial and HIV panel, so a single visit in Cleveland accounts for what a shorter panel would miss.

Spanish Is a Full Clinical Language Here

That operational fluency means every conversation about treatment timing, follow-up, and prevention runs without friction from first question to discharge instruction.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Lone Star tests for herpes simplex, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C at the same visit, and carries hepatitis A and B vaccines to act on those results immediately. On-site HIV/AIDS medical treatment handles management of confirmed HIV, keeping care within the same facility rather than splitting the workload.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Pregnant or planning to be?

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Liberty County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Plum Grove, TX

FM 2025 connects Plum Grove to the nearest testing options listed on this page: a drive that, for a town with no sidewalk culture and no transit grid, means blocking out real time in a packed day. Most households here are owner-occupied, which speaks to roots and stability, but it doesn't soften the scheduling math when two-thirds of adults are working and a typical household runs nearly four people deep. That household size matters. Plum Grove leans toward family formation: over four in ten adults are married, and the average home holds considerably more people than the national norm.

When younger adults in their late teens and twenties live in those same households, their ability to get screened quietly, on their own schedule, depends almost entirely on which of options listed on this page offers hours that don't require taking a half-day off work. Liberty County's STI figures reflect what happens when that window stays narrow. The rent picture here is modest by most Texas standards, which means cost-scaled or sliding-fee visits are less of a dealbreaker than the logistics of getting there. For a household with one car, two working adults, and kids, the texture this town actually runs on, the options listed here that open early or take same-day appointments are the ones that will actually get used.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Plum Grove often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Texas

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Texas law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Texas permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
